How to Properly Clean a Sofa At Home

1) Fabric Cleaning Codes

Before you begin cleaning your sofa, you need to understand the manufacturer's cleaning tag codes:

Always review the manufacturer's cleaning instructions before attempting to remove stains or freshen up your sofa; ignoring these instructions could void warranties or ruin it.

If you can't find the manufacturer's instructions, check the tags on your sofa cushions.

These tags provide essential information about whether the material is water-soluble and how to clean both the sofa cover and the cushions themselves. Below are some common cleaning codes:

- W: Use water-based cleaners.

- S: Use solvent-based cleaners.

- WS: Use both water and solvent-based cleaners.

- X: Only vacuum, no water or solvents can be used.

2) How to Clean a Sofa If It's Stained

What is the best way to clean sofa fabric? For sofas marked with "W" or "WS," follow these steps to clean stains effectively:

i) Vacuum cleaner with an upholstery attachment

ii) Light-colored microfiber cloths

iii) Bucket

iv) Water

v) Liquid dish soap

vi) White vinegar

3) How to Steam Clean Your Sofa

For sofas marked "W" or "WS," you may be able to use an upholstery steam cleaner. Consult the manufacturer's instructions for both the sofa and the steamer. Always perform a spot test on a small, inconspicuous area first.

4) How to Clean a Sofa That Smells

Baking soda is an effective solution for eliminating odors from your Sofa. It captures odors and loosens stains when applied to the fabric.

While baking soda is excellent for odor elimination, it's not a substitute for steam cleaning or blot cleaning, which are more effective at removing stains and embedded dirt.

5) How to Clean Sofa Cushions

Use rubber gloves to pick up fur from the cushions. LG Power Drive™ Mini technology can also be used for vacuuming pet fur off the fabric.

Clean all nooks and crannies with a good type of vacuum cleaner. The Slim Power Drive Nozzle™ from LG can effectively lift dust, dirt, and pet hair from hard-to-reach spaces.

Use a solvent-based cleaner or a mild dish detergent solution.

To tackle stains on non-removable cushions, use a portable steamer. The LG 3-Level Water Control Mechanism adjusts the amount of water dispensed for effective cleaning.
